Of course, whenever it is to be consumed it is necessary to cook it very well before. Why? Mainly because, badly cooked, it can produce cyanide. But you should no longer worry not only if you cook it perfectly before taking it, but if you do not consume it in large quantities, since otherwise it would become harmful and dangerous for the body.

If you wish, you can make a tapioca sweet with a slightly more intense and aromatic flavor. For example, you can try adding a little ground cinnamon on top. And if you’re passionate about even more aromatic desserts, why not add a pinch of ginger or ground cardamom? Your result will be as different as it is curious.
And if you want it to be an even more nutritious and healthy dessert, you can add pieces of fruit on top, and then mix with the rest of the cream. The best? Undoubtedly the sleeve or the strawberry, although in reality either comes in handy.
